This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Our Missing Man Table serves as a quiet but powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who are still missing, unaccounted for, or held as prisoners of war. Each item placed on the table carries deep meaning, from the empty chair symbolizing their absence to the single red rose representing the loved ones who continue to wait and hope.

As residents, families, and team members pass by, we invite everyone to take a moment to reflect on the courage of those who served our country with honor.

Today we remember, we honor, and we are grateful for all who served.
